davinci-resolve-mcp is an MCP server that lets AI assistants control DaVinci Resolve Studio through its scripting API, including editing, media organization, rendering, grading, and other project tasks. It is for users who want agents to operate Resolve and inspect media through a local control panel. The catalogue entries support agent workflows for this Resolve integration.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00323 | $0.00323 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00161 | $0.00161 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00065 | $0.00065 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00032 | $0.00032 |
Grade A, and why
davinci-resolve-mcp resolve-conform.instructions.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says
Resolve Conform / Interchange work. Apply when: importing/relinking editorial, checking a conform against a reference, repairing reversed/retimed subclips, tracing grades across a re-conform, or QCing a conformed timeline.
Two servers — compute offline, apply live:
- Live (running Resolve,
davinci-resolve): timeline (probe_timeline_structure, detect_gaps_overlaps, source_range_report, export/import_timeline_checked, detect_missing_media, build_relink_plan), media_pool.safe_relink - Offline (.drp/.drt/.drx + DB, no Resolve,
davinci-resolve-advanced): conform (frame-oracle QC, reverse-subclip repair, lineage, per-cut frame QC), color_trace, offline_ref, editorial, drt, project_db - Key rule: drt is the only lossless project-native round-trip. XML import via the scripting API goes offline — use import_timeline_checked with media sanitize, then exact-path relink. project_db patches need the project CLOSED + iConfirmProjectClosed + a full quit/relaunch. Relink plans are read-only until executed.
Depth: docs/kernels/timeline-conform-interchange-kernel.md. On-demand in any MCP client: the /conform_workflow slash prompt. Portable skill: resolve-conform in .agents/skills/. Never modify/transcode/derive source media (AGENTS.md).
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
